Today on The Modern Homeschool Podcast, I’m here for a quick chat about the funnest aspects of homeschooling. We have thoroughly enjoyed our homeschool over the past six years and I am here today to tell you why. Some topics covered in this episode and related links are:
- Traveling– We have seen so many wonderful places through our homeschooling journey. We have been able to travel all over California and extend trips past the weekend to see special places for a fraction of the cost. Get my travel tips here: https://themodernhomeschool.com/podcast/field-trip-ideas-for-california/
- Being Outdoors– As much as we want to, we can go to parks, beaches, coffee shops, libraries or just read on our patio or trampoline anytime we want to. More about the outdoors here: https://themodernhomeschool.com/podcast/outdoor-play-ideas-for-kids-of-all-ages/
- Sports & Activities– We are able to fit in so many sports and activities throughout the week thanks to our homeschooling schedule.
- Flexibility– Our days are flexible and so is our weekly work schedule
- Sibling Bonds– Have grown and restrengthened through homeschooling
- One-on-one time– I have tremendous amounts of time for my kids one-on-one as bonding as well as academic studying together.
- Hobbies– Homeschool creates time for hobbies kids love like art, sports and music.

Did you know that homeschooling is currently the fastest growing form of education?
With nearly five million homeschoolers in America today, I hope that my listeners will gain inspiration, research and new ways to implement education with their children in natural and intentional ways. I want to offer solutions to the many challenging problems our youth faces today. I want to unify home educators and parents from around the world.
